you must dm and explain

bear in mind, nowadays I complain that a laptop has "only" 100 megabit ethernet because that means I can "only" transfer ~10mb/s to or from it at once, now imagine 5 people having to use less than half that, all crowding the same SSID, and walls and signal strength being factors.

i think i remember our internet connection being ~40 megabit, nominal

so combine the fact it was all 2.4GHz WiFi, with how many people were using it, with the inherent slowdown caused by WiFi over Ethernet and the suck of late 2000's satellite internet and you have misery

if a sufficient cloud happened between this 20-acre property and space, your internet would just die, and I remember having to watch youtube on the Wii in 144p just to get smooth playback on the wifi connection, it was BAD.

but the guy could have owned most of his games on physical media and I just can't get access to the savegames because I can't open Settings right now, so when I get the gamepad I am DEFINITELY checking out the save data for more info on when the guy got the console

so if I were to guess, the guy used the console for only up to 2 years because the WiiU launched in 2012, but since I have no evidence of any use from before 2014 (yet)...

There's also one single game, Wii Sports Club (from the summer of 2014).

So that pretty conclusively tells me that thing hasn't been used in 12 years.

You're forgiven for nerd, average mortar shell is ~80mm in diameter, and coming in at ~200-250m/s, and from a height of ~3km, the angular size to get within a reasonable range of a mortar shell is incredibly small, so the fact CRAM emplacements can even hit these things is frankly impressive

the thing about the CRAM is that giant dome actually serves a function, that's a radar system and the thing can track every round it fires and adjust its aim accordingly, but mortar rounds and missiles are travelling very fast so you kind of need to saturate a target area to stop such a samll target

I know for damn sure it's a lot less of a concern for a modern 20mm autocannon round exploding high up than, say, a WW2 heavy AA gun firing an 88mm round designed to produce shrapnel. I'd be more worried if the fuse failed on the 20mm round and potentially caused a UXO hazard.

potentially, depending on the size and altitude and how astronomically unlucky someone was, but it's a hell of a lot less deadly than fully intact missiles and mortar bombs air-bursting directly over one's head.

they don't land (not intact anyways if CRAM), they have a timed fuse and airburst because that's actually effective at AAA and anti-mortar work (what this is), CIWS uses APDS (which is essentially flechette rounds, but CIWS is used at sea).

owes back-thinkies from 1972

Me too.

it's not even interesting to pick apart anymore because everything they have to say is regurgitated garbage, like a fecal human centipede, but let's be honest, creationism and flat earth got that way too

something you notice on

i'm the type of person who will run a WiiU on composite video because the TV I'm playing on is this thing and it's legit easier to work with and saves me an external box

i'm willing to bet that filter cap was measured in farads

they have adapted and colonized laptops
